The victory marked a redemption of sorts for Harvick, who lost the lead on the final lap last year in the Nationwide event at Atlanta when Brad Keselowski bumped Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the front straightaway and Stenhouse went ahead for good in Turn 3.

Harvick finished third last year. Saturday's victory was his 40th on the Nationwide circuit. He has made seven starts this year, and hasn't finished lower than fifth in his last six events.
